Fun Activity

The newest craze to sweep my town is called 'onesies'. everyone on your street has to have a little battery powered keyboard to participate though, and you can pick these up real cheap from any secondhand dealer. each house on the street gets assigned one note on their keyboard (my note is F#) and when you leave your house you have to take the keyboard with you and when you see someone else with their keyboard you have to play your note. this works best when there is a group of people. so as to avoid confusion, the tallest person plays their note first and so on down to the shortest. this is so much fun to play on the way to the shops. i have chosen to always use the 'jazz organ' sound. one time when i was going to get milk i helped play the theme to 'close encounters of the third kind', then on the way back home a song by 'the supremes'. it is a good community activity. but some people kind of cheat and wear lifts in their shoes so they can play the first note, then they quickly take them out so they can play the last note, but nobody seems to mind because now lots of people are doing it and it does look a bit silly with all these people wearing huge lifts in their shoes and walking around a bit clumsy. i hope it comes to a town near you.
